This document discusses dermatitis contact irritans, or skin irritation caused by direct contact with irritating cleaning agents or soap. It summarizes the process in 3 steps:
1) Contact with irritants damages skin cells and tissues, causing inflammation and the release of chemical mediators that stimulate nerve endings.
2) This leads to pain signals being transmitted to the spinal cord and brain via nerve pathways.
3) The result is acute pain, itching, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and damage to the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin.
